The Michigan Seal of Biliteracy (MI-SoBL) is awarded to high school graduates who exhibit proficiency in English and at least one additional world language via several approved pathways. If you have the MI-SoBL, you can earn up to 15 college credits at Grand Valley State University. In order to receive credit, contact your high school counseling office to have your official high school transcript with the Seal of Biliteracy listed on it sent to GVSU. When Grand Valley receives your official transcript, you will be awarded credit and you will receive an evaluation indicating the credit awarded.
